Tart cranberry flavor blends nicely with mustard and horseradish in this out-of-the-ordinary cracker spread from field editor Maria Hattrup of The Dalles, Oregon. It’s quick to fix, too.

 Instead of horseradish, a co-worker of mine uses a small amount of finely chopped jalapeños. Depending on how much "kick" you want, I suggest starting with one, then add more to taste. You may also want to remove the seeds since they are what gives the pepper its heat.

This sounds wonderful, except for I don't care for horseradish. Can someone suggest an alternative?
